3 Current canola varieties in Western Australia (2014) Triazine Tolerant varieties accounted for the vast majority of canola grown in Western Australia (WA) (79%) in 2014, even though there was a slight decline in favour of Roundup Ready varieties.

Data is the percentage area of each herbicide system that was planned to be sown, in each growing season. Almost all Triazine Tolerant (TT) canola is open pollinated, this was 98% of the TT area in Conversely, hybrid varieties were 92% of all Roundup Ready canola. Seventy four percent of the Clearfield area was hybrid varieties in Open pollinated, Triazine Tolerant canola varieties remain the most important group for WA growers, they accounted for 78% of the WA canola crop in 2014 (figure 1).

Data is the open pollinated and hybrid percentage area of each herbicide system, which was planned to be sown in the 2014 growing season. The four most widely grown canola varieties were Triazine Tolerant and together accounted for fifty seven percent of the canola area in 2014 (figure 2). ATR Stingray was the most popular canola variety in WA during Its area increased to nearly 28%. Hyola 404RR was the most widely grown Roundup Ready variety, at 7% of the WA canola area.

Varieties shown are > 1.8% of planned canola crop area in The National Variety Trial scheme Each year the NVT scheme coordinates approximately one hundred and seventy canola variety trials, in sixty four locations around Australia. GRDC funds the National Varieties scheme. Trial results are on the NVT website, nvtonline.com.au. This report presents the results from the WA National variety trials from 2010 to There were 187 successful canola NVT trials in WA during this period (tables 8-10). There are approximately 40 trials per year, distributed in more than 20 locations. The WA trials comprise a mix of Triazine Tolerant (TT), Triazine Tolerant with Roundup Ready (TT+RR), Roundup Ready (RR) and Clearfield (CL) trials. Conventional canola is no longer included in WA NVT trials. There are many varieties in each NVT trial, typically comprising current and older varieties, new experimental varieties and some specialty varieties (e.g. Monola). Only the results from current varieties are shown in this report. agric.wa.gov.au nvtonline.com.au 3

4 NVT data analysis The first stage of NVT data analysis is to produce core statistics for individual trials. These include the trial mean (or average) yield, predicted yield for each variety in the experiment and a weighting of how valuable or valid the result is. Where multiple herbicide tolerance trials are at one location, they are analysed together to reduce the variability in the results. The trial mean yield is calculated from the average of all varieties in the trial, (current varieties, older varieties, test lines and specialty lines). There are three replicates in each trial. The performance of an individual variety in each replicate contributes to its overall predicted yield. The similarity of the variety performance in each replicate contributes to its weighting. The more similar the replicates were, the higher the weighting for that variety in that trial. Conversely, if there were issues with a variable site or variable establishment or if a single replicate was affected by insects, there may be larger differences in the replicates. This would result in a lower weighting, reflecting a lower value of this trial result. The data for the trial mean yield and the single site predicted yields is available from NVT online under the current trial results tab. The second stage of NVT analysis combines the results of all the single site analyses to produce a long term Multi Environment Trial (MET) predicted yield (or long term MET predicted yield). Results of all trials in Australia are combined to generate the long term MET predicted yield for each variety in each trial. In addition, a long term MET predicted yield is also generated for varieties that were not actually grown in these trials. This data is particularly valuable for the canola industry, with the rapid cycling of new varieties, meaning that variety yield estimates are not penalised if the variety was not included in high yielding trials. The second stage analysis also measures the difference between the predicted yield of each variety and the average trial yield. This is the comparative yield or Production Value (PV). Usually, as average trial yields go up, so do the yields of varieties in that trial. To compare varieties, we want to predict which variety increases more than another one. Measuring the PV allows us to isolate and compare this difference and is the best prediction of variety yield (figures 4-6 and tables 8-10). The long term MET predicted yield is the sum of the trial mean yield and the production value. Finally, an Agzone average long term MET predicted yield is calculated. This data is available from NVTonline under the Long term results tab. In this report, the long term MET average yield is presented as a percentage of the yield of a standard variety (tables 2, 3 and 4). Early and Mid maturity trial series There are two groups of trials in the NVT, the mid-maturity and early maturity series. Both sets of trials have similar sowing and harvest times and have a similar complement of varieties, although there may be several early maturity varieties in the early series that are not tested in the mid series, or vice versa. The main difference between the series is that the trials are located in areas suited to their maturity, with the majority of early series trials in Agzone 1 and 5, while all mid season trials are in Agzone 2, 3 or 6. The early season trials from Agzone 1 and 5 are included in the tables and figures, along with the mid season trials of Agzone 2, 3 and 6. Data for the early season trials in Agzone 2, and the few early trials of Agzone 3 and 4 are available from nvtonline.com.au. Oil data The oil data presented is not as reliable as the yield data. A single sample from each variety in each trial is tested for oil, with the simple average presented in the results. As with the yield data, results from many trials are more reliable than results from few trials (tables 2, 5 and 7). data The blackleg information is provided from the GRDC Fact Sheet, 2015 Spring blackleg management guide. Please refer to this for further information about the importance of blackleg ratings, resistance groups and management of blackleg. It is available online. Agronomy of the NVT s All NVT trials are treated with Impact-in-Furrow, at a rate of 400 ml/ha. The seeding rates are adjusted to target 30 plants/m 2 in Agzone 1 and 5 and 50 plants/m 2 in Agzone 2, 3 and 6. 4 nvtonline.com.au agric.wa.gov.au

5 Reading the production value charts Production value describes the yield performance compared with the average yield. The scatter charts have the trial mean yield along the horizontal axis and the production value on the vertical axis. The dashed line marks the point where the variety yield is the same as the trial mean yield. The dotted line allows for easier comparison of the data. Compare the production values of ATR Snapper and Hyola 559TT, in Fig 4 below; Hyola 559TT generally has an above average production value, while ATR Snapper has a mixed result any trends in variety performance are shown. The production value of Hyola 559TT increases as the trial mean yield increases, while the reverse is true for ATR Snapper the stability in variety performance is also shown in the variability of the scatter. Hyola 559TT has a very stable performance, compared with the variability we see for ATR Snapper.

There are several good options for Triazine Tolerant (TT) canola varieties, although the number of releases of open pollinated varieties, and the performance gains, have not kept pace with hybrid varieties. Open pollinated canola remains the overwhelming grower choice for Triazine Tolerant varieties (98% in 2014). However, hybrid varieties showed greater yield stability and a slight yield advantage over open pollinated varieties. Many of the varieties have very similar yield performance. A five percent difference in yield in Agzone 2, 5 or 6 is only around 70 kg/ha. Open pollinated TT varieties Open pollinated varieties that have the best yields across the Agzones are Crusher TT and ATR Bonito. ATR Gem was also a good performer in Agzone 1, 3 and 6. ATR Bonito and ATR Gem have excellent oil yield and low risk blackleg ratings (MR). They have good yield stability, the best of the OP varieties. The few yield results from the newly released ATR Mako are excellent. Crusher TT has a lower oil yield and a lower blackleg rating, it was not tested in 2015 ratings but was rated medium risk (MR-MS) in ATR Stingray is the most commonly grown canola variety in WA, with 28% of all canola plantings in 2014 (and 35% of TT plantings). It was the highest yielding open pollinated variety in Agzone 5 and is a strong contender in Agzone 2, 4 and 6, particularly in lower yielding situations. Although ATR Stingray has a high average long-term MET yield, its yields are variable, which can be seen in the spread of dots on the scatter graph. 6 nvtonline.com.au agric.wa.gov.au

7 Hybrid TT varieties The hybrid varieties Hyola 559TT and Hyola 450TT have the highest yields across the Agzones. Hyola 650TT was in the longer season trials in Agzone 2, 3 and 6, where it performed very well. Many of the Hyola varieties out-yielded the open pollinated varieties. The TT Hyola varieties also showed very stable yields, this can be seen in comparing the scatter plots of Hyola 559TT and the more variable Crusher TT (Figure 4). The Hyola TT varieties have a higher blackleg rating than the open pollinated varieties, and good oil yields. Atomic (TT) is a standout performer in Agzone1 (only three trials). It is moderately susceptible to blackleg, and has lower oil than other varieties. The average yield difference between the best open pollinated variety and the best hybrid variety in each Agzone is; 6 t/ha in Agzone 2, 0.15 t/ha in Agzone 3, 5 t/ha in Agzone 5 and 0.18 t/ha in Agzone 6. There is a 3 t/ha difference in Agzone 1, due to the excellent performance of Atomic (TT), however, this data is based on only three trials. Hybrid TT+RR varieties Hyola 525RT is competitive for yield and has excellent oil content. Hyola 725RT shows similar good results from the two NVT trials. They both have good blackleg ratings (R-MR) and are good options for yield performance, as well as improved weed control options.

8 Roundup Ready varieties WA growers have several options for Roundup Ready canola varieties with good yields, oil and blackleg ratings. In many cases, the yields were very similar and there were no real differences between the varieties. Excellent performers across all Agzones are Pioneer 43Y23, Nuseed GT-50 and Pioneer 44Y24, they have reliable, high yields across years and environments. Hyola 404RR remains a strong performer across the Agzones, although its yield is a little more variable, it has excellent oil yield. These four varieties account for 80% of all the RR canola in WA. The new varieties Pioneer 45Y25 an Hyola 504RR have also shown good yields. Amongst other Roundup Ready varieties, Pioneer 44Y26 was showing early promise in Agzone 1 (2 NVT trials). The longer season Hyola 600RR out-performed Hyola 404RR in Agzone 3, with excellent oil results (2 NVT trials). Hyola 600RR also has the best blackleg rating (R), which is valuable for that Agzone. Nuseed GT-41 and IH30 RR both performed well in Agzone 5, again with limited results, while IH52 and DG550 RR yielded well in the higher rainfall Agzones. Rounding out the variety choice is the new IH51 with Podguard, with slightly lower yield but excellent shatter tolerance. The open pollinated Roundup Ready varieties did not match up to their hybrid counterparts. The best performance was by GT Cobra in Agzone 5. Otherwise there was a general difference of about 15% between GT Cobra and the hybrids, or 300kg/ha in a 2 t/ha crop. In the early season trials in Agzone 2 and Agzone 4 (data not shown), there was very little difference between the predicted yields of the hybrid varieties.

10 Clearfield canola varieties All of the Clearfield hybrid varieties performed well in the NVT trials, and there is very little difference between them. Pioneer 45Y86 remained the most popular variety to be sown in It is an excellent performer in the higher rainfall zones, for both yield and oil. However, Pioneer 45Y88 was the overall top yielding variety. It also has reasonable yield stability but the oil yield was a little lower than most other Clearfield varieties.

11 The new variety Pioneer 44Y89 has performed very well so far and has a good blackleg rating (R-MR). Pioneer 44Y87 performed well in every Agzone. It also had the best yield stability within each Agzone, with very little variability in the scatter graph. Archer and Pioneer 45Y86 also yielded well, especially in Agzone 3, unfortunately they are medium risk for blackleg. Conversely, the Hyola range have the highest blackleg ratings, and they also yielded well in most Agzones and Hyola 577CL has oil yields on par with Pioneer 45Y86. The new variety Rimfire CL is also producing good reliable yields. Banker CL had excellent yields in its only two trials.
